Verizon Foundation makes contribution for women's resources
A representative from Verizon Communications visited Radford University on Nov. 22 to deliver a Verizon Foundation grant of $20,000 to support Peaceline Plus, a sexual assault and dating violence awareness program co-sponsored by Radford University and the Women's Resource Center of the New River Valley.
Verizon's Government Affairs Manager Steve Cronemeyer presented the donation to RU President Penelope W. Kyle during a brief ceremony that took place in front of McConnell Library.
"On behalf of the Radford University community, we thank the Verizon Foundation for its generosity," said RU President Penelope W. Kyle. "This grant will help support a program that serves as a vital resource within the New River Valley. RU's partnership with the Women's Resource Center of the New River Valley is also a benefit for our students studying within the allied health and counseling disciplines, offering them valuable experiential learning opportunities. The Verizon Foundation's support of this important relationship will help promote greater awareness of sexual assault and dating violence in our communities."
Also in attendance were Pat Brown, executive director of the Women's Resource Center, and Dr. Jeanne Mekolichick, sociology chair and director of RU's Center for Social and Cultural Research (CSCR).
"This program, targeted at building healthy relationships and appropriate dating behavior for teens, and the suitable and safe use of technology in relationships, will help prevent domestic and relationship violence, a longstanding goal of the Verizon Foundation," Cronemeyer said.
The Women's Resource Center and RU have a rich history of cooperation spanning more than 30 years. The center is not only located nearby in the City of Radford, but professors have frequently been involved in their spare time and students have often volunteered in the center or on hotlines. "This relationship has enriched both the Women's Resource Center and the university in so many ways," Brown said.
For more information on the organizations behind the Peaceline Plus awareness program, visit the Women's Resource Center of the New River Valley or the RU Center for Social and Cultural Research websites.

Collapses under the weight of its own brilliance
I have read several works by Henry James and usually like him very much. But something about The Golden Bowl didn't work for me. On the one hand, the mastery of the author is undeniable. On the other, I found the novel too indirect and ultimately unsatisfying. Though event do happen in the novel, James never references them directly; rather, he has the characters discuss in the vaguest possible terms their impressions of each other's musings on the reflections these events may have or would hypothetically have had on their elusive perceptions of some unspecified concepts.
What bothered me with this was not that it was hard to follow--I like difficult writing--but that, when you actually decode these infinitely intricate references you get characters that are not as deep or psychologically striking as the author seems to regard them. In other words, I felt that James had provided a brilliant analysis of characters not very convincing.
Consider this sentence, for example: "Her greatest danger, or at least her greatest motive for care, was the obsession of the thought that, if he actually did suspect [that she suspected he was unfaithful to her], the fruit of his attention to her couldn't help being a sense of the growth of her importance."
The narrator did an excellent job. Her characterizations are subtle but clear, and she uses a "Mid-Atlantic" accent which I think perfect for Henry James.

Unsettling writing, flawed reading
I can only agree with a previous reviewer. The novel itself is very moving and exquisitely done. It has a fluid, effortless flow, and at the same time is unrelentingly brutal (and really not for the faint of heart). In some aspects it reminded me of "The Lord of the Flies", of "Crime and Punishment" and Sartre's "The Nausea". In one of the strongest scenes in the book, a group of boys kill and "dissect" a stray kitten in order to train themselves in "perfect lack of feeling" -- I had a very hard time listening to this. But the most striking thing is the seeming ease with which the writing shifts between points of view, between past and present, between events and reminiscences. It could have been an outstanding audiobook.
But unfortunately it isn't, and that is due to the reader. It's a shame, because Brian Nishii reads very clearly and pronounces all the Japanese names correctly. But for some reason he almost always seems to emphasize the wrong part of the sentence. It's as if he reads every sentence separately, with no notion of context. In the end, it was possible to follow and enjoy the writing, but I had to overcome the flaws in the narration to do that. And that's the exact opposite of what an audiobook narrator should do.
Bottom line: recommended, but proceed with caution.

The narrator is amazing
It is difficult to think of a narrator better suited for The Song of Hiawatha than the late, great William Hootkins. I believe he reads the poem almost better than it's written, with such feeling, grace and timing, perfect pathos and emotion. And the poem? It's enchanting, with its clear, hypnotic meter. It evokes a clear sensation of an ancient, hallowed story, of an ancient native legend. Sure, it's parodied quite widely (I myself am almost tempted to compose this humble comment in trochaic tetrameter) but it doesn't really matter.
Very highly recommended.

Pleasing novel, seemingly read by the protagonist
I really enjoy Henry James, and this book was no exception. It is a portrait, perhaps one of the earlier, of a character encountered in a number of books (e.g., Sinclair Lewis' Dodsworth): the intelligent, successful, open and likeable American who goes out to see the (old) world and who is somehow completely blind to European social structure and conventions. In some aspects he is naive, but he is not stupid or inexperienced; he is simply unable to grasp the way members of a class-based society perceive humanity. And above all, he is genuinely likeable. I was also somewhat surprised to find that this book was written in 1877 -- to me, it really felt like an early-20th century novel, though I can't explain the precise reason. It wasn't the greatest piece of literature I've ever read, but it was very nice.
As for the narrator: it's really hard to rate him. On the one hand, he has a very warm, pleasant, clear voice, and he has a touch of that slightly outdated American accent which is perfect for the character and the narrator. He makes no attempt at characterizations, which I thought was fine -- I never felt confused as to the identity of the speaker. But the major problem with him is that he simply doesn't know any language other than American. Most of the story takes part in France, and there are quite a few French characters and expressions. For all of these, the narrator sounds like a caricature of an American mispronouncing French. He even mispronounces French expressions that are used in English, such as "coup d'etat" (he pronounces the final t). And the only character he tries to supply with an accent -- an elderly English woman -- sounds more or less like Dick Van Dyke's hilarious mock-Cockney accent in "Mary Poppins". It really sounded as if the main character was reading the novel. And just like the main character, the narrator has such a pleasant and earnest voice that it was hard to "blame" him for this shortcoming -- that's just the way he is.
All in all, an enjoyable if slightly confusing experience.

Should have been better
(Slight spoiler below)
Everything the reviews on the product page say is true, so I won't repeat that the novel has more of an American "feel" than a Japanese one, etc. The key, to me, is in the quote from the New York Times calling this "a close to perfect novel". Why not perfect? Well, most of the book is indeed very good (though it was probably more shocking when first written than it is today). It is the story of a selfish, immature man who can't face the birth of his deformed son and just wants the baby to die. The character is well drawn, and his fear, anxiety and escapism are heart-wrenchingly realistic. But then comes the final chapter which to me felt tacked on. The ending is so optimistic, such a "happy ending" that I found it unbelievable, basically "and then he grew up and did the right thing and everything was Very Good." I felt cheated. That said, cut off this last chapter and I would have given the story five stars. As it is, I don't think I'd recommend it -- it's certainly not bad, but it should have been better.
The narrator, Eric Michael Summerer, does an excellent job.

I didn't like the structure of the audiobook
I don't have much to add about the poem itself, which is truly marvelous; the translation here is the one by Rolfe Humphries, and it is indeed extremely good. However, there's another aspect of the audiobook which I didn't care for. In addition to the poem itself, the audiobook contains two short essays: a biographical sketch of Lucretius by William Young Sellar, and an overview of Epicureanism by William Wallace. I actually found the essays an interesting addition, but for some reason they are not include before or after the text, but interspersed with it. I normally like to read or listen to introductions after the text itself, and I found that the arrangement here broke the flow of the text. If you're like me, the following layout might be useful:
0h0m to 0h15m: Lucretius biography, part 1
0h15m to 1h29m: Book I of the poem
1h29m to 1h45m: Lucretius biography, part 2
1h45m to 3h04m: Book II
3h04m to 3h20m: Epicureanism, part 1
3h20m to 4h32m: Book III
4h32m to 4h46m: Epicureanism, part 2
4h46m to 6h13m: Book IV
6h13m to 7h54m: Book V
7h54m to 9h12m: Book VI
As for the narrator: I've bought quite a few of Charlton Griffin's audiobooks, and there's no denying he's an excellent narrator. He's not my personal favorite, because I find his booming voice a little too, well, booming. I sometimes felt like it was an irate Roman god reading the poem, and not an atheistic poet. Not a real problem, of course, just my personal taste.
In short: an excellent poem, beautifully translated, expertly read. I only wish the extra parts were concentrated in one place, either at the beginning or the end.

A problem with the narration
The book itself is well worthy of the name "classic". It is deep, intelligent and moving, and the most impressive thing about it, to me, was the apparent ease with which the author portrays such a complex protagonist and such deep feelings. However, I was only able to reach these conclusions after reading a print version of the book, since in the audiobook I could only barely follow the story.
The problem with the narrator is very simple: his voice is just too deep. He's not an untalented narrator, in that his pronunciation is very clear and he reads without any errors (I think I detected a hint of accent -- South African, perhaps?). However, he reads at such a low pitch that it is very hard to decipher what he's saying. Most of the time it sounds like someone grumbling to himself in another room. This would be a perfect voice for some sort of "mountain-man" in an animated film, but constantly straining to understand the narrator is not what you want in an audiobook.

Not bad
The story itself is quite nice and well written, if slightly dated. Or perhaps you need to be younger to appreciate the story and ignore the fact that a lot of it has become cliche ("A mysterious island, shrouded in fear, evil, and darkness" etc.)
As for the narrator, I must say I didn't care for his performance. It's not that he does anything "wrong": his voice is pleasant, his diction is flawless. But to my taste it was overacted. Mr. Harrison simply expresses too much emotion in his narration. As always, this is a matter of taste, but that's what I thought.
All in all, well worth getting, especially for this price.

If you've never read anything by Nabokov then this probably isn't the first book you should get, but it's a very nice, very short novel. You get the feeling that it could just as easily have been a short story. As always with Nabokov, the writing is exquisite. I also found the plot and the main character quite touching.
There is one point I hope might help some readers: For some reason, the general view among reviewers of this novel seems to be that the riddle in it (Nabokov has to have a riddle...) is very hard to figure out and that the book leaves the reader utterly bewildered. Maybe I was lucky, maybe the novel is easier to understand today than when it first appeared, in any case I found the "mystery" element pretty clear as such things go. It was nothing so complex as, say "Pale Fire". My point is, don't let the supposed difficulty of the book deter you from a rewarding listen.
As for the narrator, he does a flawless job. He has the right voice, the right intonation, everything sounds just as it should. He does mispronounce a French word or two, but those really are minor nitpicks.
In short: an excellent minor work from a wonderful author.

Brilliant, but left me unfulfilled
I'll start with the positive: if you're looking for infinitely sophisticated, superbly written and masterfully narrated postmodern (meta-)fiction, look no further. The book is a prime example of the genre, and the narrator does a perfect job.
For me, however, there was something lacking. Had this been my first exposure to this type of fiction, I imagine I would have thought it the most amazing thing I'd ever read, but as things stand, I find that the style hasn't aged well. The structure, the language and the cleverness of it all are mind-boggling, but still it never drew more than a chuckle from me. It felt like an exercise in cleverness. The book isn't bad, far from it. I just felt that it lacked a point.

The icy coating across the Southeast that paralyzed Atlanta and shut down major bridges in Charleston caused billions of dollars in lost economic activity to the region, but most of it can be recovered, economists said Thursday.
"Since there is not that much property damage, most of the loss is made up fairly quickly," said Wells Fargo senior economist Mark Vitner of Charlotte. "Some businesses will see a loss that can't be made up, such as restaurants."
Any kind of provider of personal services that was closed, such as food service, suffered financially during the storm, College of Charleston economist Frank Hefner said.
"I'm not going to overeat today what I didn't eat yesterday," he said. "People are not going to drink the coffee they didn't drink yesterday. Those places will lose out. It's not like the gas station that's closed. I will just buy gas tomorrow."
From the Port of Charleston to major manufacturers such as Boeing, treacherous road conditions forced shutdowns for almost all businesses across the Lowcountry and brought work to a standstill.
For individual manufacturers, catching up on lost work can be a bit tougher, Vitner said.
"It depends on how much leeway they have on overtime," he said.
For businesses such as Boeing, where production already is ramped up to meet increased output levels for the 787 Dreamliner, Vitner said making up the losses can be tougher.
Boeing said it has a plan to deal with the unexpected downtime.
"We're bringing a few more employees in this weekend to make up for the lost hours," Boeing South Carolina spokeswoman Candy Eslinger said. "We don't anticipate any significant impact to our schedule."
One silver lining is that the recovering economy is not at full capacity, Vitner said. Some businesses can bring in extra hands and add overtime to make up for lost work.
"By working longer hours or more efficiently, some of the losses can be recovered," he said. "For those that are (operating at full capacity), it will be tougher to recoup their losses."
At the State Ports Authority, it will open its gates on Saturday to make up for cargo stalled from closed operations from Tuesday afternoon through Wednesday, said spokeswoman Erin Pabst.
Local port terminals are usually not open on Saturdays, so operations that day will allow an extra workday that was lost during the storm, she said.
Hefner, from the College of Charleston, said the economy will feel the effects of the storm.
"This is several days of lost activity," he said. "You can't make up for lost productivity. If you have an assembly operation, you can use overtime to catch up, but that costs money. There is going to be a loss of gross domestic product and gross state product because businesses aren't functioning and things aren't being done."
Some of the lost economic activity could have been offset already.
For instance, people stranded on roads in Atlanta might have boosted hotel business, Vitner said. In Charleston, where an ice storm was predicted, people with fireplaces in their homes rushed out to buy firewood ahead of the onslaught in case their power went out, paying for an item they normally might not.
"While there likely are some significant economic losses, many of those losses will be made up," Vitner said.
The bigger problem for Atlanta, he said, might be a blow to its image in the eyes of would-be manufacturers and other businesses.
"The traffic nightmare may cause some companies to look at alternatives rather than Atlanta," Vitner said.
At Charleston International Airport, canceled flights caused some monetary losses, but they were minimal, Airports Director Paul Campbell said.
"There was an economic impact over the past three days, but I don't know how to quantify it," he said. "There were some losses on vending, food service, parking and landing fees, but our goal was to have a safe operation at the airport."
The airport was closed briefly when the runways iced over, but the terminal never closed, Campbell said.
"If somebody got stuck in Charleston, they might have stayed in a hotel and ate at a restaurant, so the area probably picked up a few extra dollars that we wouldn't have had," he said.
Some places made a go of it on a day when most businesses were closed.
Kitchen 208 on lower King Street decided to open for lunch Wednesday, despite being short-staffed because of the bridge closures.
"We did it not knowing what to expect. We thought, 'We'll give it a try, maybe people will be looking for somewhere to eat lunch,' and they certainly were," said Linn Lesesne, a spokeswoman for Charming Inns. The local hospitality group oversees Kitchen 208 and hotels such as the Wentworth Mansion.
In a four-hour lunch shift, the cafe served more than 100 people. "It was slammed," Lesesne said.
Typically Lesesne handles marketing, but she and husband Rick Widman, an owner of Charming Inns, chipped in to help at the restaurant when the staff couldn't get there.
"We only had a chef and one cashier. So my husband did dishes while I took orders," she said.
"What was cool, when people came in I said, 'I got one guy cooking, one cashier, and I'm the only one taking orders.' And everyone was like, 'no big deal, everywhere else is closed,'" Lesesne added. "It was a great atmosphere because everyone understood, and they really loved the food. It was just a really successful day."
Kitchen 208 was the exception. Most restaurants remained closed, mainly because the Ravenel Bridge was shut down.
Basil, a Thai food restaurant, closed Wednesday at both locations in Mount Pleasant and downtown Charleston because its employees couldn't drive to work.
Owner Henry Eang said that while it was a lost day of business, he's not sure opening would have made a difference.
"If I had opened and no customers were here, we would have lost out then too," he said. "Based on what I've seen, I think a lot of restaurants closed because the bridge closing was a really big factor. If the bridge were open, I would have opened yesterday, no doubt about it."
Some retailers won't recoup their losses, said Susan Lucas, an owner of King Street Marketing Group.
"When businesses lose a day or two, they can't make that up, so a lot of them are really hurting because of this," Lucas said.
Staff reporters Abigail Darlington and Tyrone Richardson contributed to this report.

AB 537, the California Student Safety and Violence Prevention Act of 2000, changed California's Education Code by adding actual or perceived sexual orientation and gender identity to the existing nondiscrimination policy. State law says that "'gender' means sex, and includes a person's gender identity and gender related appearance and behavior whether or not stereotypically associated with the person's assigned sex at birth." The nondiscrimination policy also prohibits harassment and discrimination on the basis of sex, ethnic group identification, race, ancestry, national origin, religion, color, or mental or physical disability.
AB 537 protects students and school employees against discrimination and harassment at all California public schools and any school receiving state funding except religious schools. Harassment is defined as "conduct based on protected status that is severe or pervasive, which unreasonably disrupts an individual's educational or work environment or that creates a hostile educational or work environment." The protections cover any program or activity in a school, including extracurricular activities and student clubs. This gives GSAs and other LGBTQ-related student clubs state protection in addition to federal protection through the Equal Access Act.
First, file a complaint with your school. The process for filing a complaint at your school can vary. Look for information on how to make a complaint in your student handbook or ask a teacher or an administrator. It is often the same process as filing a sexual harassment complaint. If your school's harassment report form does not specifically include sexual orientation and the expanded definition of "gender," consider working to change this as a goal of your activism.
Document everything. Write down the key details of the harassment such as who, what, when, where, and witnesses. Include details from meetings you have with administrators. Keep a copy of all reports you file and confirmation that they were received.
If your school does not adequately address your complaint, you can take your complaint to your district superintendent's office (ask for the designated complaint officer or compliance coordinator). Your school district must follow the state's "Uniform Complaint Procedures," which say that your school district must to do the following:

Manhole cover flies off in Troy
Streets closed as odors of electrical fire, gas detected
A city post office and an RPI building were evacuated and blocks of Broadway were closed Thursday after a manhole cover blew out of its place.
The heavy lid popped into the air just before 11 a.m. outside 542 Broadway, closing the street for a time between 4th Street and 5th Avenue, police said.
For a short time, the air smelled of gas, then of an electrical fire, a witness said. No one was injured and, according to National Grid, no power was lost in the area.
The manhole cover blew off after a water main break shorted electrical circuits, Troy Police Capt. John Cooney said. Pressure built up underground, enough to eventually push the lid out and into the street, Cooney said.
Broadway was reopened around 1:30 p.m.
National Grid spokesman Patrick Stella said crews would further inspect the area surrounding the dislodged manhole to figure out precisely how the incident unfolded and why.
Stella said there is no reason to believe Thursday's manhole cover incident is related to others in the city recent years.
In September 2012, a manhole cover popped several blocks away on the 2100 block of Fifth Avenue. No damage or injuries were reported in that incident, which National Grid said was caused by a cable malfunction.
A number of similar incidents occurred in Albany over the past two years.
In April 2008, a wire shorted-out on River Street, leading to an underground explosion that blew manhole covers almost 20 feet in the air and broke more than two dozen windows.
National Grid is in the second year of a five-year, $76 million underground upstate network upgrade.

About the time the warm spring winds finish the job of blowing out the rest of the winter chill, restlessness takes root in the heart of every motorcycle rider. Spring has sprung; it's time to ride.
Typically, enthusiasts tend to focus on the driver enjoying the thrill of curve hugging rides through open country. The feel of raw power in the throttle hypnotizes motorcyclists across the globe. But, there is one point of view not often written about. It is the view from the rear seat.
True enough, there is a scintillating thrill that shoots up the spine when that V-twin roars to life. For the rider, the experience allows for a unique view of the road. Settled comfortably against the sissy bar, feet planted securely on the foot pegs, the sky looms wide and unrestrained. The rider is free take in the beauty of the ride with a freedom not afforded the motorcycle driver.
As with any aspect of motorcycle riding, safety is the number one consideration for the driver and rider as well. How does the back seat motorcycle rider contribute to the safety of the ride? The following tips are a good place to begin..
Learn the Moves
Learn to lean with the driver on corners. If the driver veers left, the rider should veer left as well, matching the movement of the driver. Basically, the rider's actions ought to mirror that of the driver. A sudden shift in weight throws off the balance of the bike causing the driver to struggle to keep it on the road. At a high rate of speed, a shift could be devastating.
Keep distractions to a minimum. Riding is a solitary event. Unless there is something pressing that cannot wait, resist the urge to tap the driver on the shoulder. Chances are he will not be able to hear anyway. The tap may be distracting and cause an unfortunate jerk on the steering. It is a good idea to discuss pit stops before climbing on the back of the bike.
Group Etiquette
There is an unwritten code among bikers to keep an eye out for other riders. When riding in groups, the lead bike has a responsibility to keep an extra watch for debris and other hazards in the road. When he spots something, the universal sign for danger consists of pointing a free hand down at the road, signaling the object. As a passenger, mirror this move. This will give the riders bringing up the rear an added indication to watch out for the danger on the road.
Dig out the helmets; dust off the leather. A long ride down the open road is the perfect initiation rite to usher in the springtime. For some, the seat behind the driver is the best seat in the house.

Those baby instruction cards are great. Where did you get them? I'm wondering if they make ones that could be a good gift for new parents, etc.
I saw them all on a blog somewhere. I'll see if I can find it again and will post the link if I do.
Andrew, those are great. As a parent, I can really appreciate them, especially the ones you want to do but know you shouldn't.They remind me of these:http://www.safenow.org/

I know Ben Bernanke isn't stupid — so I don't know why he is acting like a fool.
The Federal Reserve chairman yesterday said — again — that he would extend a program aimed at keeping long-term interest rates low.
Great. How's it worked so far in helping rev up the US economy?
Someone once described insanity as "doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."
That quote is often attributed to Albert Einstein, although no one is really sure of the authorship. So I apologize to Einstein, or whoever said it, for correcting the observation.
Doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting different results isn't insanity, it's stupidity.
The move by Bernanke's Fed to extended a bond- buying program that it calls Operation Twist to the end of 2012 is just such a repetitive move.
This program is simple: sell and roll over shorter-term securities, and use the cash to buy long-term government bonds.
The only problem is that neither Twist, which began last September, nor the incredibly dangerous money-printing operation known by the innocent name Quantitative Easing have achieved much of anything.
People and companies are simply too afraid to borrow. And banks don't want to lend.
So Bernanke can keep interest rates as low as he wants and the only real result is that savers will continue to be denied respectable yields that might lead them to spend more.
Put another way, while the operation may be a success in appeasing Wall Street, the patient — the US economy — is slowly dying.
In Bernanke's defense, he is in a very difficult position. Despite all the nonsense in the press about how many tools he still has in his toolbox (the media like to talk in clichés so they don't have to explain anything), the truth is that Bernanke is stumped and out of ideas.
It may be that, as Bernanke repeatedly says, he is ready to act. But it has already reached the final act.
And nothing has worked.
Four years after the beginning of the Great Recession — another catchphrase that is supposed to make people proudly feel as if they are part of some important historic event — the economy is still growing at a measly 2 percent a year.
Unemployment is at a lofty 8.2 percent. And it's only considered "good" if you do not count people who want to work but who have given up looking out of frustration. Real unemployment is easily twice 8.2 percent.
Worse news, the Fed reported a couple weeks ago that Americans lost 40 percent of their wealth over the past few years. And that decline would be considerably higher if the Fed's monetary policy hadn't been successful (its only success) in propping stock prices up at unnaturally high levels.
Guaranteed, in the next few weeks you'll hear increased chatter about how the US is heading back into a recession.
The Republicans will blame the Democrats and the Fed. The Democrats will blame the situation in Europe.
Both sides should shut up and make sure taxes don't increase Jan. 1, as they are scheduled to do.
What to do? Once again, here is my full plan for the economy, in a nutshell.
One, change the rules to allow retirement plans to invest in real estate. This way people who can actually afford to buy a house will be allowed to do so.
An improvement in housing will spill over into construction and many other industries.
Two, give a tax incentive so US companies will repatriate profits they earned abroad. In exchange, the companies will have to sign an airtight contract to use some of those billions in foreign profits to create US jobs.
Last, Washington needs to make sure energy prices keep dropping. That means Wall Street speculation in commodities will have to be curtailed by regulators.
All these issues would have to be taken on by Congress and by the White House — either while President Obama is still in office or after he loses re-election.
Now that Ben's toolbox is empty, maybe our elected officials will start acting responsibly.

Hi Morven
Why not try just saving the modified image and replacing the existing one without the delete and replace hokey pokey. Resource Manager should sense the change and update accordingly.

2. Re: Resource Manager and ImagesMPizanti May 6, 2012 3:35 AM (in response to Captiv8r)
Hi Rick,
First of all thanks for the answer.
Your answer makes me suspect that I am doing things differently.
When you save the modified image and replace - are you doing this in RoboHelp or in Windows Explorer directly?
I think my current method is cumbersome because I am trying to do the replacement within RH itself.
3. Re: Resource Manager and ImagesCaptiv8r May 6, 2012 5:21 AM (in response to MPizanti)
Hi Morven
In my own experience, it really shouldn't matter where you update the image, as the Resource Manager is a two way street. If you update in RoboHelp, it should be sensed and the updated image copied from your project to replace and update the centralized image. And likewise, if you update the centralized image, Resource Manager should update your project to match the updated centralized image.
Again, I woudn't want to first delete the image followed by saving a new one using the same name. I would either open one of them (centralized or project) and edit as needed. Or edit a copy, make edits, then save using the same file name so the existing image is replaced.
To the best of my knowledge, Resource Manager should sense the change as the date/time stamp should be different as well as possibly the size. Then the automation should kick in to update the image's counterpart and synchronize everything nicely. The only fly in this ointment would be if the new image were different in size from the pixel measurement standpoint. If the new image is wider or taller or narrower or shorter, you would need to ensure that you reset the sizes in your project so they match the new dimensions. Otherwise they will be a bit skewed and have the fun house effect. I believe RoboHelp supplies a script for this.
Cheers... Rick

Yeah you ever have that one girl, the one that puts you in danger?
Now shawtys like a fire, got a grip on me like pliers
Everytime she pulls me tighter, it's tempting my desire
I'm tempted just to try her, cause I can feel the fire
It's burning inside, and I think that it can take me higher
But I feel like I'm in danger, I think I wanna be in danger
She got my feeling so unstable, didn't read the warning label
Now it's all up on the table, everything she do, I think it's gonna put my heart up in danger
I think she put me in uh, in danger, in uh, in danger, in uh...
Verse 1:
Feel my heart beat, star struck in my seat,
Want to taste you cause you lookin so sweet
Damn, I gotta bring it back to the truth
Watch me like a hawk got me feelin like a youth
Got me feeling like a kid, but is it wrong?
For you mi amor, I would write a whole song
I guess I am, so why do I worry?
Baby girl I gotta tell my story
I approach, you came close,
You did most, but I did boast
Told the whole world, one day theyd toast
Thought our love would forever coast
But I did shake, my heart you take
Your the kinda girl that could make or break
Me so I fell to the ground
Fire alarm, the bell did sound
I think she put me in uh, in danger, in uh, in danger, in uh...
Fire engine, come get me
Flames surround, and I can't see
Bring the water, cool me down
Wait not to much, cause I will drown
That is her, no life vest near
Blast of bombs and I can't hear
I need help, call the army
Call the navy or military
I feel like I've been shot
I feel like I've been knocked
That's what she do, she locks the scope
Feel the red dot, that means no hope
I can't cope, I can't stand
She's not mine, but I am her man
Rescue me, I'm locked so damn
I'm gonna sink, quick like the sand
I think she put me in uh, in danger, in uh, in danger, in uh...
I know it's bad, but it's her I want
The way she walks the way she flaunts
I can't resist and I can't hold back
I need a thousand cc's stat
Damn it's like I thought she was fine, I thought she was mine, only in my mind
But the pain came quick, walkin in a field for countless time and she's a mine
Blowin up black hole it sucks, suck me in
Drunk driver swerving crazy drivin blind, jaywalkin, I'm pedestrian
It's a constant fight, nevending sleep, cold as frost bite, screaming out burr
Ambulance put me on a stretcher, cause I love her
I feel like I'm in danger baby...
But I wanna be in danger with you... Yeah... J

Make Derrick Mason a Raven Again.
I created a social media petition to urge the Baltimore Ravens Organization to bring back Derrick Mason--our own Jerry Rice.
His presence will bring both talent and experience to the Raven offense from a dependable veteran who will eventually be a part of the Ravens "Ring of Honor."
And who do you take off the field to give him time? Torrey Smith?? Q??
No thanks. Mason was a great Raven. But his time is done,

I understand the sentiment, and if we needed help in the receiving game, then I'd be on board.
But, there just isn't a place for him anymore. He'd be 4th on the depth and we don't go 4 wide enough to justify the roster spot or the contract.

Re: Make Derrick Mason a Raven Again.
I hear ya guys and quite frankly I like our receivers and we have a very competent receiving corps that has only gotten better.
I would just like to see him part of the team because I believe that we have a very special team this year and that greater things are happening to the Ravens this season and that Mason has made significant contributions to the team over the years.
Here's an analogy--the Steelers keep Hines Ward (I don't particularly care for him) not because he produces anymore but because he is an integral part of a mechanism that defines that team.
I believe that Mason helps define the Ravens offense. He's a great player--still the Ravens Receiving Leader (all-time): Derrick Mason - 5,777 yards.
He adds more character to our offense.
Re: Make Derrick Mason a Raven Again.
I agree that we have a special team this year and have the potential to win a super bowl. But I also believe part of the reason our team is so together this season is because Mason isnt a part of the team. Mason did produce when he was here but he also did a lot of complaining and yelling at Flacco. I respect and appreciate what Mason did while he was here but I don't want him back and I don't think he makes the ROH.

With the Emilia region continuing to feel aftershocks from the earthquakes that devastated the region, Ducati Motor Holdings has published a letter from CEO Gabriele Del Torchio explaining that while Ducati's facility was unaffected by the tremors, its suppliers have seen their factories shutdown or slowed because of the natural disasters.
As such, deliveries from the Borgo Panigale factory have been delayed, meaning if you put money down on a 2012 Ducati motorcycle, you might have to wait a bit longer than originally expected. Ducati has not at this point in time released details on how long that delay could be for Ducatisti purchasers. Full letter after the jump.

Pork with Paprika, Mushrooms, and Sour Cream
I thought I'd ease back into regular recipe posting with this comforting Pork with Paprika, Mushrooms, and Sour Cream I made a few weeks ago. I actually combined two recipe ideas to make a paprika-spiced combination of pork, mushrooms, onions, and tomatoes with sour cream stirred in at the very end. This is not a stew; the meat is browned and then just warmed in the sauce.
You could serve this over brown rice or whole-wheat noodles, but I just ate it in a bowl as a low-carb main dish. This will be tasty no matter how you serve it; enjoy!
While the meat browns, wash and dry the mushrooms, then slice them into thick slices, about 1/2 inch.
Pork with Paprika, Mushrooms, and Sour Cream
(Makes 4-6 servings, adapted by combining and modifying recipes from cookbooks by Fine Cooking and Martha Stewart; neither recipe was available online.)
1 lb. pork loin, fat trimed and cut into cubes about 1 inch square (I used 4 thick pork loin chops)
1 T + 1 T sweet paprika (use Hungarian or Spanish paprika in a tin for best flavor)
salt and fresh ground black pepper for seasoning pork
2-3 T olive oil (depending on your pan)
8-12 oz. crimini or white mushrooms, washed and cut into thick slices
1 onion, finely chopped
1 T finely minced garlic
1/2 tsp. dried thyme
1/2 tsp dried caraway seeds, ground or crushed (optional, but good)
1 can petite dice tomatoes plus juice (14.5 oz. can)
1/2 cup chicken stock (I used my homemade chicken stock)
2/3 cup sour cream
Trim all visible fat from pork chops or pork loin roast, then cut meat into cubes about 1 inch square. Put pork in a bowl and toss with 1 T sweet paprika, salt, and fresh ground black pepper.

Five Things You Need to Know: Grim Chart Shows Unemployed Face Long, Difficult Road
The duration of unemployment is now the longest in measured history.
1. Grim Chart Shows Unemployed Face Long, Difficult Road
You know the numbers. Nine-point-one percent unemployment. And Friday's jobs report showed we added 54,000 jobs in May, a bizarre number that is even worse when you factor in the even more bizarre Birth-Death adjustment which renders the entire report a virtually unreadable non sequitur. Bloomberg's Richard Yamarone notes that at this pace it would take more than 10 years to recoup the nearly 7 million jobs lost during the most recent recession. But wait, things get even worse.
The chart below shows the average duration in weeks of unemployment dating back to 1948 when record-keeping began.
In case you may be employed, and thus wondering why even after an economic recovery of sorts things still feel so bad, this chart helps explain why. The average duration of unemployment is nearly twice as long as the worst period in measured history. That's right, twice. Not just a little bit longer, but twice as long.
This chart is not just about the economy, however. As Yamarone points out, "In the U.S., you are identified by what you do for a living. When you meet someone, the first question asked is, what's your name? The second, what do you do? If you don't have a response to the latter, the results can be socially debilitating."
2. A Double Surge for Double Dip
Given the above, it's fairly easy to see why so many of us have "double dip" on our minds. The chart below run through Google (GOOG) analytics shows search volume for "double dip" has surged for a second time in as many years, now outpacing the prior search spike when it seemed we were on the verge of falling back into recession.
3. Why Fears About Municipal Defaults Are Overblown
Meredith Whitney's prediction of a vast wave of municipal bond defaults continues to come under scrutiny (some would say under fire) as state and local economies continue to stagger along, battered, wounded, but still upright and staggering nonetheless. Of course, while some are content to say Whitney simply got it wrong, things are rarely black and white in financial markets. An interesting paper from Daniel Bergstresser and Randolph Cohen of Harvard Business School argues that Whitney was indeed correct in her prediction of hundreds of municipal defaults, it's just the magnitude of the defaults failed to materialize as expected.
From the white paper's summary:
- In 2009 municipal issuers defaulted on 178 individual bond issues. The aggregate face value of the defaulted issues was $3.5 Billion. In 2010 issuers defaulted on 75 municipal bond issues, with an aggregate face value of $1.7 Billion.
- The municipal credit market is a $2.5 Trillion market.
- Thus the prediction of hundreds of municipal defaults has already been realized. Losses have amounted to a tiny fraction of market value.
The paper's conclusion is that the doomsday scenario is already priced in with the MCDX 5-year index spread (at year-end, when data for the paper was assembled) projecting a 7 percent annual default rate and market spreads consistent with nearly 30 percent of municipal issuers going into default through 2014.
"In sum, fears of widespread municipal default are overblown," the authors write. "Although spreads have tightened somewhat since December, doomsday scenarios have already been incorporated into market prices. While there is a good chance that negative investor sentiment will lead to further spread widening, the probability of the kind of widespread default that would be required to justify current municipal bond yields is low."
4. Local Government Employment Declining as States Cut Back
Based on all of the above you might think that, doomsday scenario aside, local governments are in a precarious situation right now. And you'd be right. Employment at local governments is now at its lowest point in five years as municipalities slash payrolls to help balance budgets. This is significant because local governments provide 11 percent of all U.S. jobs, according to Bloomberg.
In addition, state tax collections are 11 percent below their peak, according to a March 9 report from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. But it gets even worse. Not only are states cutting payrolls to balance budgets, they're cutting services too. States are also cutting cash assistance to families with children, specifically through Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) cuts, the CPBB reports. California, Washington, South Carolina, and New Mexico and the District of Columbia have cut monthly cash assistance benefits for TANF families. And Michigan is slashing its refundable Earned Income Tax Credit (which is partially funded with TANF funds) by two-thirds.
Why now? According to CPBB, the upcoming fiscal year 2012 is expected to be one of the worst on record. "Some 44 states and the District of Columbia are projecting budget shortfalls totaling $112 billion for 2012. States have responded to these fiscal pressures by making deep cuts in many education and human service programs, including TANF."
TANF caseload increases were unevenly spread during the recession, with the western states seeing the sharpest increases.
5. Warren Buffett Lunch Reaches Record Price of $1.51 Million
On the bright side, over on eBay (EBAY) you can still pony up more than the current bid of $1.51 million to have a "power lunch" lunch with Berkshire Hathaway (BRK-B) exec Warren Buffett. The auction is to benefit San Francisco's GLIDE, which works to eliminate poverty in San Franscisco. The auction ends June 10, 2011 at 7:30 PM PDT. Hey, free shipping!

Mulan (1998)
Mulan: [to Shang] Would you like to stay for dinner?
Grandmother Fa: [Yelling in the background] Would you like to stay forever?
The Emperor of China: The flower that blooms in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of all.
Shang: Sir?
The Emperor of China: You don't meet a girl like that every dynasty.
Fa Zhou: Mulan...
Mulan: [kneels] Father. I brought you the sword of Shan-Yu, and the crest of the Emperor. They're gifts, to honor the Fa family.
[Fa Zhou drops the sword and crest on the ground and embraces Mulan]
Fa Zhou: The greatest gift and honor... is having you for a daughter.
Mushu: My little baby, off to destroy people.
The Emperor of China: I've heard a great deal about you, Fa Mulan. You stole your father's armor, ran away from home, impersonated a soldier, deceived your commanding officer, dishonored the Chinese Army, destroyed my palace, and... you have saved us all.
Ancestor: My children never caused such trouble. They all became acupuncturists.
Ancestor: Well, we can't *all* be acupuncturists.
Ancestor: No! Your great-granddaughter had to be a cross-dresser!
Mushu: The truth is, we're both frauds. Your ancestors never sent me, they don't even like me. But you risked your life to help people you love. I risked your life to help myself. At least you had good intentions.
[Cri-Kee chirps sadly at Mushu]
Mushu: What? What do you mean you're not lucky? You *lied* to me?
[Cri-Kee nods sadly]
Mushu: [to Mulan's horse] And what are you, a sheep?
Mushu: My powers are beyond your mortal imagination. For instance, my eyes can see straight through your armor.
[Mushu's eyes move towards Mulan's chest; she smacks him]
Mushu: Oooh! All right, that's it! Dishonor! Dishonor on your whole family!
[to Cri-Kee]
Mushu: Make a note of this: dishonor on you, dishonor on your cow, dis...
[Mulan covers his mouth with her hand]
Mulan: Stop. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm just nervous. I've never done this before.
Mushu: Then you're gonna have to trust me. And don't you slap me no more. We clear on that? All right. Okey-dokey, let's get this show on the road! Cri-Kee, get the bags.
[to the horse, Khan]
Mushu: Let's move it, heifer.
Mulan: [singing] Look at me, / I will never pass for a perfect bride, or a perfect daughter / Can it be, I'm not meant to play this part? / Now I see, / That if I were truly to be myself, I would break my family's heart...
Mulan: Who is that girl I see, staring straight back at me? / Why is my reflection someone I don't know? / Somehow, I cannot hide / who I am, though I've tried / When will my reflection show / who I am, inside? / When will my reflection show / who I am, inside...
Grandmother Fa: Great. She brings home a sword. If you ask me, she should've brought home a man.
Shang: Excuse me. Does Fa Mulan live here?
[Grandmother and Mother dumbly point to the garden]
Shang: Thank you.
Grandmother Fa: Whoo! Sign me up for the next war.
Mulan: Shang!
Shang: Mulan?
Mulan: The Huns are alive! They're in the city!
Shang: You don't belong here, Mulan. Go home.
Mulan: Shang, I saw them in the mountains. You have to believe me!
Shang: Why should I?
Mulan: Why else would I come back? You said you'd trust Ping. Why is Mulan any different?
Fa Zhou: My, what beautiful blossoms we have this year. But look, this one's late. But I'll bet that when it blooms, it will be the most beautiful of all.
[Mushu is ordered to awaken the ancestors by the First Ancestor]
Mushu: One family reunion comin' right up.
Mushu: [to the other ancestors while banging a gong] Okay, people, people, look alive. Let's go. Come on. Get up. Let's move it. Rise and shine. Y'all way past the beauty sleep thing, trust me.
Shan-Yu: I tire of your arrogance, old man. Bow to me!
The Emperor of China: No matter how the wind howls, the mountain cannot bow to it.
Shan-Yu: Then you will kneel in *pieces*!
Mushu: [stuffing breakfast into Mulan's mouth] No time to talk. Now remember, it's your first day of trainin', so listen to your teacher and no fightin', play nice with the other kids, unless, of course, one of the other kids wanna fight, then you have to kick the other kid's butt.
Mulan: [muffled] But I don't wanna kick the other kid's butt.
Mushu: Don't talk with your mouth full. Now let's see your war face.
[Mulan looks at him with mouth full of porridge]
Mushu: Ooh, I think my bunny slippers just ran for cover. Come on, scare me, girl!
Mulan: Rrrgh!
Mushu: There! That's what I'm talking about! That's my tough-looking warrior girl! Now go out there and make me proud!
Mushu: All right! Rise and shine, Sleeping Beauty! Come on. Hup, hup, hup! Get your clothes on. Get ready. Got breakfast for ya. Look, you get *porridge*...
[Porridge has a fried-eggs-and-bacon smile]
Mushu: And it's happy to see ya.
[Cri-Kee pops up from the porridge]
Mushu: [tossing Cri-Kee from the "porridge"] Hey, get outta there! You gonna make people sick!
[seeing Yao, Ling, and Chien-Po run to the lake where Mulan is bathing]
Mushu: Oh! We're *doomed!* There are a couple things I *know* they're bound to notice!
Yao: I'm gonna hit you so hard, it'll make your ancestors dizzy.
Shang: Let me see your conscription notice.
[Reads it]
Shang: Fa Zhou? The Fa Zhou?
Chi Fu: I didn't know Fa Zhou had a son.
Mulan: Well, he doesn't talk about me much.
[Tries to spit, but ends up with a glop of spit hanging from her lip]
Chi Fu: I can see why. The boy is an absolute lunatic.
Chi Fu: [singing] I've a girl at home who's unlike any other...
Yao: [singing in whisper to Mulan] Yeah, the only girl who'd love him is his mother.
Mulan: [Mulan and Mushu escape back to shore from Yao, Ling, and Chin-Po] Boy, that was close.
Mushu: No...
Mushu: [brushes his teeth] That was vile! You owe me big.
[Mushu squirts more toothpaste in his mouth and brushes again]
Mulan: I never want to see a naked man again.
[a big group of naked men run past them, laughing]
Mushu: Hey, don't look at me, I ain't biting no more butts.
Mushu: [waking up] I liiiiiiiiiive! So tell me what mortal needs my protection, Great Ancestor. You just say the word and I'm there.
First Ancestor: Mushu...
Mushu: And let me say somethin'. Anybody who's foolish enough to threaten our family, vengeance will be miiiine!
First Ancestor: Mushu!
[points to statues]
First Ancestor: *These* are the family guardians. They...?
Mushu: ...protect the family.
First Ancestor: [points to empty alcove] And you, oh Demoted One?
Mushu: I... ring the gong.
Shang: Ping, you are the craziest man I've ever met, and for that I owe you my life. From now on, you have my trust.
Ling: Let's hear it for Ping, the bravest of us all!
Yao: You're king of the mountain!
Mulan: You're, um...
Mushu: Intimidating? Awe-inspiring?
Mulan: Tiny.
Mushu: Of course. I'm travel-size for your convenience. If I was my real size, your cow here would die of fright.
[Khan snaps at Mushu]
Mushu: Down, Bessie.
Shang: [nervously struggling to tell Mulan he loves her] Um... You... You fight good.
[a disbelieving look crosses Shang's face]
Mulan: [disappointed] Oh. Thank you.
Shan-Yu: Looks like you're all out of ideas.
[he stabs at her with his sword; she dodges, catches the sword with the fan and twists it out of his hands]
Mulan: Not quite.
Mulan: Mushu, if you're so worried, go stand watch.
Mushu: Yeah, yeah.
Mushu: [talking and acting like a girl] Stand watch, Mushu, while I blow our secret with my stupid girly habits. Pfft! Hygiene.
Mulan: My ancestors sent a little lizard to help me?
Mushu: Hey! Dragon. *Dra-gon*, not lizard. I don't do that tongue thing.
Mushu: My little baby's all grown up and...
Mushu: [sniffle] ... and savin' China. You have a tissue?
Chi Fu: Insubordinate ruffians! You men owe me a new pair of slippers! And I do not squeal like a girl.
[a panda eats his slipper; he squeals like a girl]
Mushu: [disguised as a messenger riding the panda] Urgent news from the General.
Mushu: What's the matter? Never seen a black-and-white before?
Chi Fu: Who are you?
Mushu: Excuse me? I think the question is, who are *you!* We're in a war, man! There's no time for stupid questions! I should have your hat for this, snatch it *right* off your head. But I'm feeling gracious today, so carry on before I report you.
Mushu: Did you see those Huns? They popped out of the snow, like daisies!
[the Huns are rapidly approaching and Mulan has taken the only remaining cannon]
Mushu: Oookay, you might wanna light that right about now. Quickly! Quickly!
[Mulan drops the tinderbox, seizes Mushu and uses him to light the rocket, then points it at the mountain behind Shan Yu]
Mushu: [from on top of the rocket as it soars away] You missed! How could you miss? He was three feet from you!
[the rocket hits the mountain and causes an avalanche]
Yao: My girl will think I have no faults...
Chien-Po: That I'm a major find.
Mulan: Uh... How about a girl who's got a brain, who always speaks her mind?
Mulan: With all due respect, Your Excellency, I think I've been away from home long enough.
The Emperor of China: Then, take this.
[removes his crest from around his neck and puts it around Mulan's]
The Emperor of China: So your family will know what you have done for me. And this.
[hands her the sword of Shan Yu]
The Emperor of China: So the world will know what you have done for China.
Shang: [singing] Let's get down to business to defeat the Huns./Did they send me daughters when I asked for sons?/You're the saddest bunch I've ever met,/But you can bet, before we're through/Mister, I'll make a man out of you.
Shang: I don't need anyone causing trouble in my camp.
Mulan: Sorry...
Mulan: [in her 'man' voice] Uhh... I mean, uh, sorry you had to see that, but you know how it is when you get those, uh, manly urges, and you just gotta kill somethin'... fix things, uh, cook outdoors...
Mulan: You shouldn't have to go!
Fa Li: Mulan!
Mulan: There are plenty of young men to fight for China!
Fa Zhou: It is an honor to protect my country and my family.
Mulan: So you'll die for honor.
Fa Zhou: I will die doing what's right!
Mulan: But if you...
Fa Zhou: I know my place! It is time you learned yours.
[Cri-Kee chirps, wanting to go with Mushu]
Mushu: You're lucky? Do I look like a sucker to you?
[Cri-Kee chirps again]
Mushu: What you mean, a loser? How 'bout if I pop one of your antennas off, and throw it across the yard? Then who's the loser, me or you?
Yao: Ah, you ain't worth my time, chicken boy.
Mushu: Chicken boy? Say that to my face, you limp noodle!
Mulan: No one will listen to me.
Mushu: Huh? I'm sorry, did you say something?
Mulan: Mushu!
Mushu: Hey, you're a girl again. Remember?
Yao: I'll get that arrow, pretty boy, and I'll do it with my shirt *on*.
The Emperor of China: A single grain of rice can tip the scale. One man may be the difference between victory and defeat.
Mulan: Just because I look like a man doesn't mean I have to smell like one.
Mushu: So a couple of guys don't rinse out their socks. Picky, picky, picky. Well, myself, I kinda like that corn chip smell.
Chien-Po: [singing] I'm never gonna catch my breath!
Yao: Say goodbye to those who knew me!
Ling: Boy was I a fool in school for cutting gym!
Mushu: [speak-singing] This guy's got her scared to death!
Mulan: [singing] Hope he doesn't see right through me!
Chien-Po: Now I really wish that I knew how to swim!
Fa Li: I should have prayed to the ancestors for luck.
Grandmother Fa: How lucky can they be? They're dead. Besides, I've got all the luck we'll need.
[to Cri-Kee]
Grandmother Fa: This is your chance to prove yourself.
Yao: [at the waterhole] Hey, Ping.
Mulan: Oh, hi, guys. I didn't know you were here. I was just washing, so now I'm clean, and I'm gonna go. Bye-bye!
Ling: Come back here! I knew we were jerks to you before, so, let's start over. Hi, I'm Ling.
Chien-Po: And I'm Chien-Po.
Mulan: Hello, Chien-Po.
Yao: [standing naked on a rock] And I am Yao, king of the rock!
[mildly sneering]
Yao: And there's nuttin' you girls can do about it.
Ling: Oh, yeah? Well, I think Ping and I can take you.
Mulan: I really don't want to take him anywhere.
Ling: Ping, we have to fight.
Mulan: No, we don't. We could just... close our eyes... and - swim around...
Ling: [pulling on Mulan's arm] Come on, don't be such a gir... Ouch! Something bit me!
Mushu: Ugh! Ach! What a nasty flavor.
Ling: Snake!
[Ling and Chien-Po scramble onto the rock with Yao, while Mulan sneaks away]
Ling: Some king of the rock.
[Yao pushes him off]
Mulan: Who are you?
Mushu: Who am I? Who am I? I am the guardian of lost souls! I am the powerful, the pleasurable, the indestructible Mushu!
[revealing himself]
Mushu: Oh. Ha, ha. Pretty hot, huh?
Matchmaker: Fa Mulan.
Mulan: Present!
Matchmaker: [writing] Speaking without permission...
Mulan: Oops.
Fa Zhou: I am ready to serve the emperor.
Mulan: Father! You can't go!
Fa Zhou: Mulan!
Mulan: Please, sir. My father has already fought for...
Chi Fu: Silence! You would do well to teach your daughter to hold her tongue in a man's presence.
Fa Zhou: Mulan, you dishonor me.
Grandmother Fa: [to Cri-Kee] This is your chance to prove yourself.
[Covers eyes and steps into traffic]
Fa Li: Grandma, no!
[Grandmother crosses the road unharmed, leaving a massive cart pile-up behind her]
Grandmother Fa: Yup, this cricket's a lucky one!
Shan-Yu: You took away my victory!
[Mulan's shoe hits his head]
Mulan: No!
[Shan-Yu faces Mulan]
Mulan: I did.
[she pulls back her hair so that Shan-Yu recognizes her]
Shan-Yu: The soldier from the mountains...
[Mulan runs off with Shan-Yu following]
Mushu: I'm doomed! And all 'cause Miss Man decides to take her little drag show on the road.
Shang: What's your name?
Mulan: Uh... I, I, uh...
Chi Fu: Your commanding officer just asked you a question.
Mulan: Uh, I've got a name. Ha! And it's a boy's name, too.
Mushu: [whispering in Mulan's ear] Ling. How 'bout Ling?
Mulan: [looking toward Ling] His name is Ling.
Shang: I didn't ask for *his* name. I asked for *yours!*
Mushu: Try, uh, uh, ah, Chu.
Mulan: Ah Chu.
Shang: Ah Chu?
Mushu: Gesundheit.
Mushu: [chuckles] I kill myself.
Mulan: Mushu...
Shang: Mushu?
Mulan: No!
Shang: Then what is it?
Mushu: Ping! Ping was my best friend growin' up.
Mulan: It's Ping.
Shang: Ping?
Mushu: Of course, Ping did steal my girl...
[Mulan muffles him]
Mulan: Yes, my name is Ping.
Mulan: It's going to take a miracle to get me into the army.
[Mushu's shadow appears in giantic form and surrounded by flames]
Mushu: Did I hear someone ask for a miracle? Let me hear you say "aaah"!
Mulan: [in fear] Aaah!
Mushu: That's close enough!
Mulan: A ghost.
Mushu: Get ready, Mulan, your serpentine salvation is at hand! For I have been sent by your ancestors... to guide you through your masquerade.
Mushu: [finding Cri-kee in the snow] Man, you are one lucky bug.
Mushu: You know, we have to work on your people skills.
First Ancestor: Great Stone Dragon, have you awakened?
Mushu: [holding up the Great Stone Dragon's head, which is all that is left of him] Uh, uh, uh, uh... Yes, I just woke up. I'm... I'm the Great Stone Dragon. Good morning! I will go forth and fetch Mulan. Did... Did I mention that I was the Great Stone Dragon?
First Ancestor: Go! The fate of the Fa family rests on your claws.
Mushu: Don't even worry about it. I will not lose face!
Mushu: [loses balance and rolls down the hill; the head of the Great Stone Dragon lands on top of him] Oh, my elbow. Oh, oh. I know I twisted something.
[after Mulan cuts Khan loose from a flaming cart with Mushu in it]
Mushu: Oh, sure. Save the *horse*.
Shang: A life for a life. My debt is repaid.
Chi Fu: Order. People, order.
Citizen: I'll have a pan-fried noodle.
Chien-Po: Ooh, ooh, sweet-and-pungent shrimp.
Citizen: Moo goo gai pan.
Chi Fu: That's not funny.
Mulan: [singing] Ancestors, hear my plea: help me not to make a fool of me, and to not uproot my family tree. Keep my father standing tall.
Mulan: Get off the roof, get off the roof, get off the roof!
Mulan: [Grabs Mushu and Cri-kee and jumps]
Man with Tattoo: [Mulan is watching Yao and Ling talk to a new recruit who is showing off his tattoo] This tattoo will protect me from harm.
Yao: Hmmm...
[punches the recruit who falls]
Ling: [laughs] I hope you can get your money back!
Mulan: I don't think I can do this.
Shang: [as Yao starts to climb the pole to retrieve Shang's arrow] One moment. You seem to be missing something.
[Chi Fu comes forward with two bronze disks, which Shang hangs on Yao's wrists]
Shang: This - represents discipline... and this - represents strength.
[Yao collapses, as everyone else snickers]
Shang: You need both to reach the arrow.
Chi Fu: Be careful, Captain. The General may be your father, but I am the Emperor's counsel. Oh, and by the way, I got that job on my own.
[Li Shang walks out of his tent and passes Mulan]
Mulan: Hey. I'll hold him, and you punch!
Shang: Captain Li Shang. Hm. Leader of China's finest troops. No, the greatest troops of all time.
[exits his tent to find the troops fighting each other; we see one soldier with a black eye salute Shang, then promptly faint]
Chi Fu: Most impressive.
Shang: Soldiers!
[all assemble into line]
Shang: You will assemble swiftly and silently every morning. Anyone who acts otherwise, will answer to me.
Yao: Ooh, tough guy!
First Ancestor: We must send the most powerful of all.
Mushu: Okay, okay. I get the drift. I'll go.
[Ancestors laugh]
Mushu: Oh, y'all don't think I can do it? Watch this here!
Mushu: [breathes a very small flame] Aha! Jump back. I'm pretty hot, huh? Don't make me have to singe nobody to prove no point.
First Ancestor: You had your chance to protect the Fa family.
Old Female Ancestor: Your misguidance led Fa Deng to disaster!
Fa Deng: [holding his severed head] Yeah, thanks a lot.
Imperial scout: The Emperor will stop you.
Shan-Yu: Stop me? He invited me.
[clutching the scout and holding him aloft]
Shan-Yu: By building his wall he challenged my strength. Well, I'm here to play his game.
Mushu: We're gonna die! We're gonna die! We're definitely gonna die! No way we survive this! Death is coming!
Mushu: I was this close. This close to impressin' the ancestors, gettin' the top shelf, an entourage. Man. All my fine work. Pfft.
[Shan-Yu releases two captured Imperial scouts to give the Emperor a message]
Shan-Yu: How many men does it take to deliver a message?
[Hun Archer draws back his bow and aims]
Hun Archer: One.
Mushu: [after burning Shan-Yu's hawk] Now that's what I call Mongolian barbecue.
Mushu: Go get her? What's the matter with you... After this Great Stone Humpty-Dumpty mess, I'd have to bring her home with a medal to be let back in the temple. Wait a minute! That's it! I'll make Mulan a war hero, and the ancestors will be begging me to come back. That's the master plan! Oh, you've done it now, man.
Matchmaker: You are a dis-*grace!* You may look like a bride, but you will never bring your family honor!
Bather: [singing] We'll have you washed and dried, / primped and polished till you glow with pride. / Trust my recipe for instant bride. / You'll bring honor to us all.
Fa Li: [seeing the notes Mulan has written on her arm] Mulan, what's this?
Mulan: [nervously] Uh, notes, in case I forget something?
Grandmother Fa: [handing Cri-Kee's cage over] Hold this. We need more luck than I thought.
Mushu: Okay, let me see what you got.
[reads Cri-Kee's note]
Mushu: "From General Li. Dear Son, we're waiting for the Huns at the pass. It would mean a lot if you'd come and back us up." Hmm, that's great, except you forgot: "And since we're out of potpourri, perhaps you wouldn't mind bringing up some." HELLO! This is the army! Make it sound more urgent, please! You know what I'm talkin' about?
Fa Zhou: Honorable ancestors, please help Mulan impress the matchmaker today.
[Little Brother runs by dragging a sack of feed; chickens start pecking the grain left behind]
Fa Zhou: Please. *Please* help her.
Guard: [after lighting the signal fire] Now all of China knows you're here.
Shan-Yu: [lights a flag on the fire] Perfect.
[on the troops]
Mushu: Beautiful, isn't it?
Mulan: They're disgusting.
Mushu: No, they're men. And you'll have to act just like them, so pay attention.
[to a pair of captured Imperial scouts]
Shan-Yu: Nice work, gentlemen. You found the Hun army.
Shang: Okay, gentlemen, thanks to your new friend Ping, you'll spend tonight picking up every single grain of rice. And tomorrow, the *real* work begins.
[all the soldiers grumble]
Mushu: [to Mulan] You know, we'll have to work on your people skills.
Mushu: Let's go kick some Hunny buns! Yee-ha!
[hoots and hollers]
Grandmother Fa: Who spit in her bean curd?
Chien-Po: Oh, Yao. You made a friend.
The Emperor of China: Chi Fu.
Chi Fu: Your Excellency?
The Emperor of China: [indicating Mulan] See to it that this woman is made a member of my council.
Chi Fu: A member of... what?
Chi Fu: But... there are no council positions open, your Majesty.
The Emperor of China: Very well.
The Emperor of China: [to Mulan] You can have HIS job.
[Chi Fu faints]
Shan-Yu: [gets a doll from his falcon] What do you see?
[tosses the doll to his soldiers]
Hun Twin 2: Black pine, from the high mountains.
Hun Twin 1: [finds hair on doll] White horse hair, imperial stallions.
Hun: [sniffs doll] Sulfur, from cannons.
Shan-Yu: This doll came from a village in the Tung Shao Pass, where the Imperial Army's waiting for us.
Hun Archer: We can avoid them easily.
Shan-Yu: No. The quickest way to the emperor is through that pass. Besides, the little girl will be missing her doll. We should return it to her.
Chorus: Be a man!
Shang: We must be swift as the coursing river!
Chorus: Be a man!
Shang: With all the force of a great typhoon!
Chorus: Be a man!
Shang: With all the strength of a raging fire, mysterious as the dark side of the moon!
Yao: My girl will think I have no faults
Chien-Po: That I'm a major find
Mulan: Uh, how 'bout a girl who's got a brain Who always speaks her mind?
Yao, Ling, and Chien Po: Nah!
Mulan: Maybe I didn't go for my father. Maybe what I really wanted was to prove I can do things right.
